Dead by Daylight Mobile is gearing up for its grand finale, with the shutdown slated for March 20, 2025. This mobile version of the beloved asymmetrical multiplayer horror experience will be stepping away as the publisher, NetEase Games, pivots its strategy. Mobile fans still have a bit of time, as they’ll be able to join the terror-filled fun until mid-March next year. But don’t worry, the game won’t be disappearing entirely! You’ll still be able to slash and dash on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and the Nintendo Switch.
Dead by Daylight first took the gaming scene by storm as a PC-exclusive release back in June 2016. It didn’t take long for the game to extend its reach, captivating players across various platforms. When its mobile version launched in April 2020, it hit a home run, racking up over a million downloads in just the first two days of release.
Yet, after nearly five impressive years filled with haunting killers and tenacious survivors, the sun is setting on Dead by Daylight Mobile. According to the game’s official news page, players have until March 20, 2025, to enjoy the mobile thrill. If you haven’t given it a spin yet or you’re feeling nostalgic, mark January 16, 2025, on your calendars. That’s when it will be pulled from the App Store and Google Play Store.
So, when exactly is this all happening? The key dates are January 16 for the app removal and March 20 for the complete service shutdown. While the mobile version is winding down, fans can take comfort in knowing that the developers at Behaviour Interactive aren’t pulling the plug on the game’s PC and console content anytime soon. And here’s a silver lining for mobile players willing to make the switch to those platforms—a welcome package brimming with rewards awaits.
This welcome bundle isn’t just a gesture of goodwill—it’s packed with goodies. You’ll get 500,000 Bloodpoints and 2,250 Iridescent Shards as part of the standard package. Plus, there are even more rewards up for grabs, based on your past in-game purchases, with Auric Cells and additional Shards leveling up alongside your spending. If you’ve shelled out $200 or more, you can claim up to 5,000 Auric Cells and a whopping 108,000 Iridescent Shards, not to mention up to two million extra Bloodpoints depending on your accrued experience. To secure these treasures, log in to the mobile version and your Behaviour Interactive account, and pick the platform for your rewards before March 20, 2025. Even if you’ve already been playing on both mobile and another platform, you’re still eligible for this thank-you gift.
In case you’re not familiar, Dead by Daylight™ delivers a gripping multiplayer horror adventure where one deadly Killer hunts four Survivors, each trying desperately to escape a grisly fate. It’s a relentless game of cat and mouse set in a chilling world. Will you stand with your fellow survivors or go it alone in the ultimate test of wits and will? As a Killer, unleash your wrath by choosing from a diverse lineup of fiendish characters, each with their own menacing powers, to take down your quarry.
Featuring varied realms and trials, no two games are ever the same. The unpredictable reactions of real players to the game’s terror add a unique depth to its atmosphere. It’s a must-play for those who crave a generous dose of fear and frights in their gaming adventures.
